@Cascade wants some GTG threads, and doesn't demand that we have a TPG grade to resolve the issue. So here is a sample I got at my LCS. What do...
Wow, guys, what a treasure trove of practical information. I give you all a Like.
Mine rotate inside Whiman plastic 2x2's while sitting in a blue plastic Whitman storage box in a drawer. There must be a small amount of vibration...
Please keep in mind that these silver and gold coins have actual value that is quite different from their face value. An American Silver Eagle is...
Let's do some math. Did the swine give back the gold dust created by cutting through? If the coin is thick and broad, and the cut is wide, could...
Here we go, a detail of the restored area... [ATTACH]
I have bought through them and was happy. Selling there would be an internet auction, so the experience would be different from having the entire...
I'll take a detail photo of the date area tomorrow. It is still a mirror surface. Frankly, I am as surprised as anyone.
Lol! Isn't one of these enough for anyone? The only difference is it now looks better, and my photography is pretty uneven.
Well, this is surprising! [ATTACH] I followed the advice given by you esteemed posters. I've got acetone and xylene, but not any commercial...
I am no chemist, but I recall that copper sulphate is quite blue. Maybe a surface layer of copper atoms reacted to something in the environment...
Ordering a replacement now... Then I can start the experiments. Then I see who i can make a gift of it. @Insider I like your approach - to see...
I recently acquired a set of Lincolns 1933-1991 in a Dansco album, as I've mentioned elsewhere. Now I am taking everything out and putting them in...
I hold the case with only my fingertips on the edges. Then I move my hand from the wrist in a circular motion, as if you were using a whisk. If...
As you have seen, the word "rare" can have a lot of different interpretations. Across all of numismatics you will find coins that have only one or...
I may be in the middle. Or at least have opinions on both sides. The OP's latest reverse shows much more detail in the leaves. They now have...
@TypeCoin971793 I think @Insider will help you more than I will, but here is the results of soaking in xylene. First I have the seller's obverse,...
And limited success would be fine. The Lincoln is a bit dinged up, as you can see. If I could make the wheat ears just a little cleaner so they...
I am interested in your question, too. I am trying the same thing with this 1931-D. I am alternating between acetone and xylene. I've given it a...
I watched several sites for a while. I made a chart where I wrote the grade, the site, current bid, next bid price, and most importantly, my own...
